How often do employers find themselves in a real predicament to fill a position in a dealership and out of sheer desperation have to choose a person who is the best applicant among many poor ones? Out of desperation, an employer will convince himself that he will “manage them closely” as he knows they are not ideal.
Managing a dealership is no easy task given the various challenges the automotive industry in South Africa faces on a daily basis.
Mahindra East Rand Mall is well on its way to hitting a six after winning the Mahindra Dealer of the Year award for the fifth consecutive time.
